How much of that was the endorsement?
It was mostly the endorsement because she isn't conservative. But the endorsement carrying weight with La republicans doesn't translate nationally. Most of this board, a politically in tune group that pays attention, voted for Fleming. I'd bet Letlow got the majority of voters who vote how they are told and do no research.

Cassidy voters may not show out in numbers in the runoff.

The ones that do will mostly go with Letlow in all likelihood.


Maybe not. Many of Cassidy voters are Dems. The rest are still stuck in the Bush era. They hate Landy and Trump enough to vote for Fleming out of spite.

I hope you're correct, but I doubt it. That's not to say Republicans can't hold the House.

It may be close, who knows, but the math leans heavily in Letlow's favor after tonight.

Voter turnout will likely be lower.

Wait, so you think a person with Trumps endorsement winning a GOP primary in a red state has anything whatsoever to do with actual elections this fall?

Seems like you’re a big moron. Nothing that happens in Louisiana is indicative of what occurs this fall.

This doesn’t make any sense.

Fleming is a milquetoast vote for the R’s , and Letlow is DEI. She’s a very unintelligent woman who only even had the platform she ran on because her husband died. If she’s our next Senator we should all be embarrassed

Her support of DEI is disqualifying to me.

Correct. Letlow continuing to get rich because her husband died is not indicative of the midterm results.

I really wish it was to be an obvious spanking of the dems. I'd like a year where I can sit back from the very beginning and just enjoy the gnashing.

Dude really? You mean the person who damn near got 50% in the primary her first time running for the office and was asked to run by the president?

You are embarrassing yourself right now. Drink another one.

Pretending like you think Julia Letlow is qualified for anything at all beyond local vice principal is a look.

The woman is so blatantly a whore for money and status after her husband died. She has no merit on her own.

It has nothing to do with her husband dying. It has to do with a State like ours who overwhelmingly voted for Trump 3 times and just voted out a sitting Senator in a primary for the first time since 1930. It shows that Trumps endorsement held alot of weight and his base is still firmly behind him. It tells me that this will carry over to the rest of the Country and Republicans will hold the Senate and House in November. Think outside the box you moron.
